About The Monstera Peru

The Monstera Peru (Monstera karstenianum 'Peru'), unlike the classic Monstera, is a rare houseplant that features thick, glossy foliage that are deeply veined and do not fenestrate. Fast-growing and easy to care for, it thrives in bright, indirect light and the occasional watering. Its vining habit makes it ideal for climbing poles, trellises, or trailing naturally!
